Time and Date Indicator (optional)

A time and date indicator may be found on the upper left-hand side corner of the screen. The

availability of this indicator is based on the chassis on which the body is mounted. If the chassis

provides real-time clock information through J1939 bus, time and date will appear on the screen. To

set the Time and Date indicator, go to the Main Menu and choose Time Adjust.

Hydraulic Oil Temperature Indicator (optional)

This optional indicator, when provided, shows you the current hydraulic oil temperature. This

indicator is found on the upper right-hand side corner of the screen.

Warning and Caution Messages

On the monitor screen, yellow-highlighted messages indicate that caution should be used and red-

highlighted messages indicate a warning situation that must be dealt with quickly.
